Stationary Platform

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a merry-go-round, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The merry-go-round makes a complete revolution once each second. The gentleman bug’s angular speed is 1. half the ladybug’s. 2. the same as the ladybug’s.

  1. A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a merry-go-round, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The merry-go-round makes a complete revolution once each second. The gentleman bug’s angular speed is 1. half the ladybug’s. 2. the same as the ladybug’s. 3. twice the ladybug’s. 4. impossible to determine

  2. A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a merry-go-round, that is turning and slowing down. At the instant shown in the figure, the radial component of the ladybug’s (Cartesian) acceleration is 1. in the +xdirection. 2. in the –xdirection. 3. in the +ydirection. 4. in the –ydirection. 5. in the +zdirection. 6. in the –zdirection. 7. zero.

  3. A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is turning and slowing down. The tangential component of the ladybug’s (Cartesian) acceleration is 1. in the +xdirection. 2. in the –xdirection. 3. in the +ydirection. 4. in the –ydirection. 5. in the +zdirection. 6. in the –zdirection. 7. zero.

  4. A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is turning and is slowing down. The vector expressing her angular velocity is 1. in the +x direction. 2. in the –x direction. 3. in the +y direction. 4. in the –y direction. 5. in the +z direction. 6. in the –z direction. 7. zero.

  5. A rider in a “barrel of fun” finds herself stuck with her back to the wall. Which diagram correctly shows the forces acting on her?

  6. Stationary Platform Rotating Platform/Rotating Camera Consider two people on opposite sides of a rotating merry-go-round. One of them throws a ball toward the other. In which frame of reference is the path of the ball straight when viewed from above: (a) the frame of the merry-go-round or (b) that of Earth? 1. (a) only 2. (a) and (b)—although the paths appear to curve 3. (b) only 4. neither; because it’s thrown while in circular motion, the ball travels along a curved path. Rotating Platform/Stationary Camera

  7. Consider the situation shown at left below. A puck of mass m, moving at speed v hits an identical puck which is fastened to a pole using a string of length r. After the collision, the puck attached to the string revolves around the pole. Suppose we now lengthen the string by a factor 2, as shown on the right, and repeat the experiment. Compared to the angular speed in the first situation, the new angular speed is 1. twice as high 2. the same 3. half as much 4. none of the above
